The Highlights from Hong Kong Living’s Christmas Charity Lunch

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Christmas Charity Lunch on Thursday. The festive gathering took place at COMO Italian Restaurant & Bar in SoHo East Site A, Sai Wan Ho. Guests enjoyed a three-course lunch and sipped on Springbok Wine.

Throughout the afternoon guests tested their knowledge with a Hong Kong and Christmas themed quiz. They won big and raised funds during our raffle with all proceeds donated to Box of Hope.

Hong Kong-based charity Box of Hope collects and distributes over 30,000 boxes each year. The boxes are packed with gifts by Hong Kong school children, sorted by volunteers and distributed to children in need in Hong Kong, China, Macau, Philippines, Nepal, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. The charity was started in 2008 by Hong Kong expats Nicole Woolhouse and Harriet Cleverly through a desire to teach their own children the joy of giving at Christmas time.
